Charts

You can use charts to present or explore the coding in your project. Charts can help you answer questions—for example, What are the dominant themes in this interview transcript? or How is coding spread across the different demographic groups in my project?

Describing the components of a chart.

The chart is generated and displayed in the Detail View.

You can use the chart options panel (on the right) to change the data displayed in the chart, or to change the chart's format and appearance.
